An existing A-3 occupancy (existing for many decades) has continually increased their electrical demands to a point where the existing service cannot adequately supply the loads.
The current service is 200A. The solution that they came up with is to add a 100kw generator outside.
Electric is not my thing, but there are other issues (zoning, planning). My question is whether or not there is any requirement that the service be adequate to furnish the loads, or is this is a viable alternative?
Seems odd to me, but I know some large facilities have cogeneration. Would there be a difference if it were permanent versus something on wheels?
Thanks,
Tim
